In fall disking cornstalks or bean stubble, that will be a great combination.

In spring in soft ground with rough plowed ground it will be way too much.

So, what is it you wish to do?

Also, a heavy duty 11' Kewanee or IHC or other with big blades & agressive angle will make a 100hp tractor snort. While a worn out JD disk with 15" old blades won't work your tractor very hard. There are light finishing disks, and heavy ground-breaking disks, and all different in between. Mostly depends on blade size & blade spacing, and how heavy the disk is. Smooth or notched blades, cone shaped, and so on.

So, there is no right answer. In general, that would seem to be a little bit too much disk for your tractor, but for some jobs in some conditions with some small-bladed models it would be just right.
